is that the LDM60 can use triangulation to measure the height
of a tree or a building without anyone needing to climb it, or
the width of a river without anyone needing to cross it. 

• 

It’s safer.

Because the LDM60 can measure distance from a

distance, it takes the risk out of routine but tricky tasks. It’s no
longer necessary to stand on a stepladder and reach to
measure the height of a ceiling, or to climb a steep and
slippery incline to gauge the length of a pipe run.

The LDM60 has a 4-line backlit liquid-crystal display measuring
1 (W) x 1.44 (H) in. The meter comes in a box along with two
“AAA” batteries, a soft carrying case with a belt loop (holster), 
a small Phillips-head screwdriver and this user’s manual.
